As an avid gardener, spring really is one of my favourite times of year, as it’s when I begin to see all the hard work I’ve put into my garden come to life. It’s also the perfect excuse to take out my phone and snap photos of the pretty cherry blossoms.

I came across this street quite randomly on my way back from the Sofa & Stuff showroom, where I had been testing a few sofas for the conservatory. I had to stop and wander around. I love the blue door, and the whole street was covered in cherry blossoms.

This weekend, I’m sure I’ll come across some beautiful wisteria in full bloom.

This is also the third year in a row that a blackbird has built a nest in my garden. Sadly, for the past two years, the neighbour’s cat got to them (thankfully, the people with the cat have now moved out), and I’m really hoping that this year my sweet little blackbird family will have better luck.

Anyway, I’m going off topic — I just wanted to share these photos. I hope you enjoy them!










Spring 2026

A beautiful moment from one of my favourite gardens: the Rose Gardens of Sissinghurst. If you love roses (I do!!!) and/or English gardens (like me!), then you have to visit this place. The best time to go is during June or July, when you can really see the roses in their prime.

This photo is from the “Lockdown Years” (does anyone else feel there’s a life before Covid and after Covid? I feel like some chunks are missing. I don’t remember much from those years because not much was happening). I went when there was a limit on how many people could visit, and we all had to keep our social distance (remember that too?!).

Anyway, if I were to look for the positives of those years, this would be one of them. Visiting gardens was actually a lot of fun because they weren’t crowded, and you could really savour each moment and appreciate nature. I wonder if that’s something that could be done regularly—limit the number of visitors so they can truly enjoy the beauty of a garden—or is that too much? Does it bring back bad memories of lockdowns? :)

Diary Entry: The Perfect English Garden

A throwback to this beautiful moment at Iford Manor Gardens in May 2025.
A few years ago, I was just passing through the area and decided to stop by the gardens. Back then, I had missed the wisteria season, but I promised myself I’d come back. It really is such a lovely place, and the highlight has to be the wisteria, draped and scattered everywhere. If you ever get the chance to visit, I’d definitely recommend it. May is usually the best time, though it all depends on the weather. If you follow Iford Manor Gardens’ website, they share updates on how the wisteria is coming along. It’s so worth seeing them in full bloom — absolutely magical.
